Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

Re: Rear End Collision causing Rear End Collision

from the facts given, the driver behind your wife's car put the force into motion that actually and proximately caused your wife's vehicle to hit the car in front of her. thus, this would not be a volitional act on the part of your wife and conseqquently she would not necessarily be liable for any damages her car caused the other vehicle. i strongly suggest you contact me with more facts so we can make sure your wife is not liable in any way, shape, or form.

Re: Rear End Collision causing Rear End Collision

Thank you for your posting.

With multiple car collisions, sometimes fault is apportioned in percentages (which in my opinion is not consistent with California law, but adjusters seem to like apportionment). If the driver behind failed to slow down, and hit your wife, that would be the cause if both cars in front were stopped. If your wife stopped suddenly, and did not pay attention in enough time for the car behind to stop reasonably, then theoretically, she could be at fault.

I hope that this helps, but if you need additional information, have other questions, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to contact me directly via email at [email protected]. I�m happy to help in any way that I can, and best of luck.
